"This list is packed, but the ultra-charming botany vibes at 11th Hour Coffee need a shout-out — a particular favorite for pre-surfing energy — as does the first shop of the now-booming coffee company Verve. But the official pick goes to Cat and Cloud as it’s now synonymous with what Santa Cruz coffee can offer to the region and to the country: a business that touts inclusive practices and well-sourced coffee." - Paolo Bicchieri, Garrick Ramirez, Eater Staff
